Holodomor

Holodomor (Голодомо́р) refers primarily to the 1932—1933 Kremlin-caused genocide of Ukrainians through starvation. The 1921-1923 and 1946-1947 Kremlin-caused genocides can also be called Holodomors.

Holodovka/Holodomor 1921—1923

1921-1923, famine caused by Lenin:

Man - not nature - was the cause of the first mass starvation in Soviet Ukraine. In this respect, the Ukrainian famine of 1921-1923 was very different from the contemporaneous Russian famine, but quite akin to the Ukrainian famine of 1932-1933. Since starvation in Ukraine was the result of a policy of plunder by Lenin’s government, the responsibility lies with the Soviet state.

The first man-made famine in Soviet Ukraine 1921-1923

The famine may have been averted in Ukraine, given the fact that food reserves from previous years existed there. Unfortunately, the Soviet government transferred massive amounts of grain from Ukraine to Russia before and during the famine. In 1920 grain was requisitioned with much violence by special military expeditions (see Surplus appropriation system) and Committees of Poor Peasants, and in 1921 an unusually heavy tax in kind was imposed on the peasants of Ukraine. As a result, in the fall of 1921 famine ensued.

In doing this, they grossly distort facts, claiming that the “man-made famine” was allegedly aimed at the “political suppression” of Ukrainian people’s national identity." "The tragedy of the Holodomor in the 1930s affected not only Ukraine and Ukrainians but many other regions and peoples of the Soviet Union. The main cause of the famine was an extremely bad harvest."
